ASUS sure is taking their own friggin' sweet time to release the ZF3 Deluxe in my country.they announced it like in March or April and its still not available here in SG.Its almostccoming to the end of 2016 and honestly,ASUS is starting to piss me off with this lack of timely release of this phone.i mean look at the Google Pixel phones,they announced it like last month and now its already available.ASUS announced the ZF3 Deluxe like months and months and months ago and its still not available here.i'm starting to wonder if i get this phone,will they roll out the Nougat update in a timely manner?or are they gonna take their own sweet time like they did for Marshmallow update for the Zenfone 2.but one thing for sure is to me is that ASUS sucks right now for delaying the ZF3 Deluxe release here in my country.so hurry up dammit!!!

I am currently waiting for the US Variant which is promise to start shipping after Nov 10... Over here in the US, there's a wide selection of case and screen protector from Amazon. I don't know if they're available for you guys in Korea. I'm sure you can contact sellers on Amazon have them ship it to you at a cost or something. thanks for the Info. Your personal experience makes me feel more confident on the pre-ordered for $499 shipped. The only thing I might regret is the display resolution since I'm use to 1440 display. Let's hope I can get use to it.

Anyone can confirm that 4g LTE and VoLTE works with US T-mobile ? I want to be 100% sure everything is compatible such as all bands. I have looked at the specs and looks like all band are there, but I want to hear it from someone who have this on hand review for TMO service since this is the first time I'm dealing with phone not purchasing directly from the carrier. And wondering will ASUS ever try to get WIFI Calling and Hotspot working with TMO. I was debating OP3 over this, but latest needs is that OP3 is coming with OP3T very soon for $80 more for extra performance such as SD821 and not sure what else. Hopefully better display and camera as well.

I ordered mine from Ebay, Taiwan and received my Deluxe on early October. So I've been using it for more than 2 weeks. Mine is SN 820 with 64 Gb of storage. It coast me 699 Usd.
The machine is fast. When I say fast, it is seriously fast. Finger scanner is the quickest that I have seen. I've loaded over 4Gigs of apps and the did not have any negative effect on the performance.
Built quality is awesome, no way to compare with anything else. I live in Korea, so I had the chance to check even LG V 20. Asus looks and feels better in hand. LG's Nougat is better for sure but let's cross the fingers and hope there will be an upgrade.
The device is performing, ZenUi is allowing a lot of customization. Camera performance is more than sufficient, I seriously like the camera. It is fair to compare with I phone 7's cam. Though I phone is slightly better to my opinion. Sound output from 3.5mm jack is very strong. I use Poweramp paid version and happy with the sound quality. Original earbuds are reasonable but no way to compare with LG V 20's Bang Olufsen. LG V 20 had the best sound output that I have ever experience in an earbud. If this is a very important thing to you, I suggest you use high-quality wireless headsets such as Beats.
I had one problem so far; when I touch the gallery icon on the camera screen, it says there is no photo in the gallery then I send an error report to Asus, they return in the following 24hr, advised me to use internal storage instead of the micro sd. Instead of following their advice I'm using the gallery app (which is not on the camera screen) on the apps list. Their quick response was good. By the way, when you shoot over 8mb photos, your micro sd may not be able to response fast enough so the gallery app in the cam may not do the job on time. I'm not blaming Asus for that. But they could give me an advice on the minimum speed requirement of sd card that I should choose.
Another negative point is difficulties to find cover, screen protector and accessories. I had to order everything in the Ebay because nothing is available in Korea. I do not know other countries.
Battery capacity is not bad; with wifi internet and about 3 hours gaming per day, I spend 70% of the battery and 30% available when I finish the day.
Could Asus or a third-party please make a battery case for this device? I like those things.

Just like my zenfone 2, lasted a month out of the box before the digitiser broke and they refused to replace or fix it,

Customer service sucks, product sucks, specs for price suck, quality control appears to be no existent,

If you like being extremely disappointed with your purchases and messed around by the company then this may be the phone for you, seriously go and look at the reviews for asus on trust pilot, none of them have more than a 2/10 rating... I'm not just being bitter, don't make the same mistake i did.

Dearest knowledge smartdevice enthusiasts.Undoubtedly,the one with the more security advanced SD 821,according to the specifications,is the Asus flagship in high ends with nowadays criteria!!However,the price hasn't been mentioned yet!Hopefully,it had 10 fingers simultaneously touch points as we see in Asus deluxe 3!!But,nevertheless,it is a lovely phablet of high quality searchers!!!Justice Rights.

Just pre-order the AZ3D ..I'm hoping it'll fit my daily need since I'm moving up from a Note 4... Crossing my finger every band will work on t-mobile and maybe update in the feature for wifi calling and hotspot

phone collector, 28 Sep 2016Has anyone confirmed this phone is dual sim dual active? Please someone chime in and confirm ... moreWhen I called n talked to asus toll free number, they said zenfone3 deluxe is dual standby only. Not dual active. But in specs of some sites like gsmarena, they are showing that zenfone3 deluxe is dual active.I am in confusion.

Raedkuwait, 14 Oct 2016Hi, i have soney z5 that runs on google
Marshmallow and it has multiuser support!
That's a customization made by Sony and few other manufacturers who still wanted for retain multiuser support on Marshmallow.
ASUS on other hand didn't make such modifications.
